Jum, yogurt with slices of peaches. I do not see any issue in eating that.
Especially if it is with cream yoghurt. Fat as hell, but it tastes great.
Sometimes i buy it from a brand called Almhof.

OP, from now on, we will call you as "Peach".

Seriously, why would you or anyone care about others opinion? As long as you did not do anything wrong or bother anyone, just carry on and live your life and be happy.

I know I had to stop adding fruit of any kind to my yogurt, because adding bacon and raw meat was just more manly.

A friend and I were talking on lunch at work and since we both like to eat healthy and stuff we were discussing some of the healthy snacks and stuff we make from time to time.

And I was explaining how I started buying plain yogurt and adding diced peaches to it and he basically laughed and said "guys shouldn't eat peaches". And said why, and he responded with: "I like peaches, but it's just too girly for me".

And I was like wtf?

Anyway, I've run into alot of people like that (to some extent or another) but since when is it socially unacceptable for men to eat peaches? I guess we should eat bananas because nobody will think you're gay for that lol.

This kind of stuff along with the beards and flannel shirt trends combined with skinny jeans and iPhones makes me think that men today are having an identity crisis or something.


Seems like you need better friends man...I mean girl. LOL J/k

No, who the FUCK cares what anyone says. For me persoanly, if you open your pie hole about what I'm eating I'm gonna knock you out verbally and if necessarily physically! What's that old adage? People are like assholes, everyone has one?

I like to buy the yogurt in the store with granola and berries already added to it. I'm sure Schwarzenegger eats that type of stuff too.

Yogurt is meant to be eaten by women and young children. Peaches smell gross.

Yogurt is essentially my staple when losing weight.

There are few snacks with that low in calories with that high amount of protein - which is essential for muscle retention - You're an idiot if you don't eat yogurt.

Where did you get the idea that i cared about that person's opinion? He's just a co worker. I just thought the idea of peaches being considered effeminate was silly.

It is so the next question is why did he say it. The next question is why is that the next question. That one would be the one I would focus on.

This is great advice if you're not a virgin. I mean, I love peaches. I'll defend peaches to the death. But I can only imagine 88 keys fatass as a little bitch who I want to punch in the face to begin with. I don't know, it just doesn't seem legit. 88 you might want to get some T-boosters or something to man the fuck up. I can't explain manliness to you. If you don't know what it is then you might want to transition now while it's "cool" to do so.

You're trying way too hard to be edgy, and you're really not that funny.

Eat all the peaches and yogurt you want. I regularly eat them for breakfast. if you want to leave no doubts about your manhood, make sure your chest hair is exposed, adjust your crotch and let a loud fart slip while eating said peaches and yogurt.

If you didn't, you wouldn't make a thread about it. It is ok, it is all "peachy". :)

So if you bring up a ridiculous statement and decide that came from another person; that indicates you value that person's opinion?

lol. okay :rolleyes:

But honestly, if I gave even the slightest shit about being 'manly'; I'd have tattoos, a motorcycle, I would never play piano/keys, drive a truck, along with the other crap that your stereotyipcal knuckle dragging tough guy wannabes do. To an extent, I even avoid things that associate me with that crowd. Mainly because those 'manly man tough guy' types are often the biggest jackasses you'll ever meet in your life.
